So I rescued a Tamiya Pumpkin yesterday from becoming garbage. Well its mostly intact except the front bumper and one tail light. While going over it and everything I thought it was a little "cheap" looking. Then I did some google searches for it and I noticed that every Tamiya Midnight Pumpkin I see on there has different chassis and a different front bumper! It says 1989 Tamiya on all the parts chassis and body so its original I believe... The chassis says "Tamiya QuickDrive" on it..

Picture of the quickdrive

Its a QD Tamiya Midnight Pumpkin, Tamiya did a few QD cars/trucks, they are normally a little smaller than the other ones.
